2.1 OVERVIEW OF THE YEAR 2021 - FINANCIAL POSITION – PERFORMANCE

2021 was a year of recovery for the global economy with signs of strong growth rates, although, almost two years after the assessment by the World Health Organization of COVID-19 as a pandemic, the impact, both socially and economically, is still remarkable.

The deep recession that began in early 2021 started to gradually reverse, with the key indicators of the global economy moving positively, even though the pandemic's complications in the evolution of the pandemic should not be excluded, even though considered more manageable.

For Greece in particular, an essential factor for the prospect of a strong recovery, among others, was the initiatives taken by the European Union of fiscal and monetary policy that reduced the risks for the weaker economies by not allowing the pandemic to cause a funding crisis.

Despite the fiscal constraints, the government managed to lift the financial commitments for 2020 and 2021. It undertook and implemented programs to support household incomes, businesses, and the economy's liquidity. In parallel with its successful presence in the negotiations at the European Council, Greece secured an aid package of approximately € 70 billion, € 32 billion from the NGEU, and € 38 billion from the MFF.

EU finance ministers have approved the first package of executive decisions by the Council supporting national recovery and resilience plans. The adoption of executive decisions by the Council approving the plans allows the Member States to agree with grants and loans, enabling pre-financing of up to 13%. On 13 July 2021, 12 EU countries (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Denmark, Greece, Spain, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Portugal, and Slovakia) received the green light-use EU funds for recovery and resilience to stimulate their economies and recover from the effects of COVID-19.

The lifting of travel restrictions, the resumption of almost all suspended economic activities, albeit with restrictions, as well as the significant recovery of tourist traffic in 2021 (reached over 75% of the tourist year 2019), in combination with the evolving vaccination process, maintained the positive climate in the country with prospects for further improvement.

More specifically for tourism, as shown by the data from the travel balance of the Bank of Greece, travel receipts increased by 150.8% in September 2021 and by 139.3% in the period

January-September 2021, compared to the corresponding period last year, while incoming travel traffic increased by 124.4% in September 2021 and by 89.0% in the period January-September 2021.

The Information and Communication Technologies sector, in which the Space Group operates, is one of the most important sectors for the Greek economy due to the growing demand for automation and digitization in both the private and public sectors. According to a study prepared by Deloitte on behalf of the Hellenic Association of Information Technology and Communications Enterprises (SEPE), the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sector by 2024 can contribute an added value of 50 billion euros to the Greek economy and 500,000 new jobs. The study finds that with the utilization of EU funds that will be allocated for the digitization of the economy and especially with the Recovery and Sustainability Fund, the ICT sector can exceed the value of 7.8 billion euros in 2022.

This optimism has been tempered to some extent in recent months (especially in December 2021) at both the European and national levels. The Economic Sentiment Indicator for Greece fell to 110.3 points from 113.4 in November, which was the highest level in 2021. The ESI fell further by 2.3 percentage points to 115, 3 points in the Eurozone, although it remained historically high. A decrease in confidence was recorded in all critical sectors of the Greek economy, except for retail trade, which increased to 19.2 points from 9.7 in November. In industrial production, the index fell to 7.5 from 9.3 points, in services to 37.5 from 46.3, and in constructions to -7% from 1.4. Consumer confidence also declined to -43.2 points, one of the lowest levels in 2021, from - 40.8 in November.

The war in Ukraine in February 2022 has significantly aggravated the global environment and exacerbated fears of the effects of the stagflation that already existed on the horizon. The looming energy crisis added to the supply chain's problems and significantly aggravated the economic climate.

The effects of this crisis in individual areas of the business development of the Space Group, as well as the ways to deal with them, will be analyzed in the chapter "Risk management and hedging policies."

Returning to the 2021 review, the Space Group continued to move successfully on the competitiveness, know-how, and efficiency paths. The group's effort to be competitive is continuous and is based essentially on the know-how, skills, and dedication of its people, as well as on continuous investments always aiming at efficiency and value creation.

On the Covid19 front, the Group continued to apply strict deterrent measures throughout the year, putting absolute priority on the safety of employees and its uninterrupted operation.

2021 was an additional year of growth for the Space Group both through the expansion of the commercial footprint in the market in which it moves and through significant investments (Singular Logic, Epsilon Singular Logic, Sense One). At the same time, it remained fully operational in all areas of its activity, taking all necessary measures to maintain high liquidity and profitability, remaining committed to the optimal utilization of its funds to further operational development and ensure its business continuity.

Management has implemented and continues to implement its business planning to take advantage of business opportunities created by the challenge of digital transformation in public and private sectors and invests in companies with a high level of specialization. With a focus on product multiplexing, investments through successfully completed acquisitions will give the Group greater added value, differentiating it from the competition.

All these moves are part of a broader development plan implemented by Space Hellas to strengthen its product mix, expand its customer base, and expand it into new markets.

The implementation of a significant part of the projects that have been undertaken has led to a significant increase in turnover and a reflexively significant increase in costs by suppliers, events that have significantly affected the increase in current assets and liabilities. In the second half of the year, 2/3 of the annual turnover was recorded, with the last quarter being the spearhead. At the same time, the investments made during the year increased both fixed assets and long-term liabilities.

Space Hellas also participates in two Private Capital Companies (Private Companies or spinoffs) to exploit the results of scientific research and know-how

  • π-NET Emerging New Generation Networks and Applications.
  • Capacity Center for Industry 4.0 from Design to Implementation.

2.4.5 PERSPECTIVES

The telecommunications and IT market, where the Space Hellas group operates, continues to lead the way by implementing significant digitization and modernization projects for both the public and private sectors. Very significant multi-billion-euro funds for spending are available from the RRF, the new NSRF, and the development law, unprecedented for the Greek data, which unfortunately raises questions of adequate absorption due to the tight schedule and market opportunities sufficient maturity. The possibilities of implementing complex digital transformation projects of the Space Hellas group after the acquisition of Singular Logic and the investments in the companies Epsilon Singular Logic, Sense One, and IQom created new data

in the Greek market, strengthening its presence in critical infrastructure projects, applications, and operations. And extending its activity to software and digital transformation projects of large private sector groups.

The prospects of the Space Hellas group for 2022 with the strengthening of human resources, the significant investments in the field of software development and business consulting, the expansion of the market share in sectors with higher profit margins and recurring revenues, the important pending projects, signal a new season with a long-term horizon of growth and profitability. Nevertheless, significant developments on Ukraine's war front are creating new data on the world map and upsetting balances that fuel concerns about prolonged economic instability and humanitarian and energy crises on European soil with unforeseeable consequences. The impact of the war, especially on the ICT sector where the group operates, apart from delays in equipment deliveries and the upward trend in prices, is not expected to affect the development course of the group.

2.5 RISK MANAGEMENT AND HEDGING POLICY

The Group and the Company, in the day-to-day business, are exposed to a series of financial and business risks and uncertainties associated with both the general economic situation as well as the specific circumstances typical of the industry.

The Group's expertise, its highly trained and skilled staff, and its state-of-the-art equipment, together with the development of new products, will allow the Group to maintain its competitive advantage and penetrate new markets.

Furthermore, continuously adaptive to the new business environment, our structures, together with the significant amount of ongoing projects, allow believing that the Group will meet the critical needs of the coming year and will help minimize uncertainties.

The Group is exposed to the following:

Financial Risk Factors

The Group is exposed to various financial risks, including unpredictable fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates, market risks, credit risks, and liquidity risks. The overall risk management program of the Group seeks to minimize the possible adverse effects of these fluctuations on the financial performance of the Group.

The Group's management applies risk management policy by assessing the risks associated with the Group's activities and functions and carrying out the design of the methodology by selecting the appropriate financial products to achieve risk reduction.

The financial instruments used by the Group consist mainly of bank deposits, transactions in foreign currency at current prices or short-term currency futures, bank overdrafts, accounts receivable, and payables.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group's exposure to foreign exchange risk arises from actual or anticipated cash flows in foreign currency (imports - exports). The Group's management constantly monitors the fluctuations and the tendency of foreign currencies and evaluates each case individually, taking appropriate action where necessary through agreements against interest rate risks. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities disclosed in a currency different from the entity's functional currency. For the foreign exchange risk which arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities, the company uses currency futures as required.

The main trading currencies of the Group are the Euro and USD.

In the table below, there is a sensitivity analysis of the earnings before taxes due to currency exchange rate changes:

Price Risk

The Group is not exposed to securities price risk. The Group is exposed to risk due to the variations in the value of the goods used for trade and of the raw materials used. To face the risk of impairment of inventories, rationalized warehouse management aims to minimize the stock according to the progress of the production needs. We aim to minimize the warehouse retention time to minimize the risk of impairment of inventories

However, in addition to the policies mentioned above, the situation we have been experiencing lately has affected the supply chain and has made it necessary to take further

measures to manage both delivery delays and price increases. The most careful management of the projects both in terms of continuous control of costs and schedules is imperative. The Group invests significantly in the field of Project Management by empowering teams with specialized human resources but also by using modern project management tools in order to smooth as much as possible the problems that arise.

Interest Rate Risk

The fluctuations in the interest rate markets can have a modest impact on the Group's income and the Group's operating cash flows.

It is the policy of the Group to continuously review interest rate trends and the tenor of financing needs. In this respect, decisions are made on a case-by-case basis as to the tenor and the fixed versus the floating cost of a new loan. Thus, the number of short-term borrowings is variable. All short-term borrowings are based on floating rates.

The period we went through was characterized as a period of zero and negative interest rates. Today, however, it is clear that this policy will consistently reverse the need for intervention, at least for long-term loans.

Therefore, depending on the respective levels of net debt, the group intervenes using interest rate swaps to keep costs at budgeted levels and avoid the risk of a significant impact on earnings in the short-term potential—interest rates.

Sensitivity analysis of Group's borrowings due to interest rate changes:

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits, derivative financial instruments, and credit risk exposures from customers.

Trade receivables come mainly from large organizations in the private and public sectors. The Group evaluates the creditworthiness of each customer, either through an independent rating body or internally, taking into account its financial position, previous transactions, and other parameters, monitoring the amount of credit provided. According to the new conditions, the customers' financial position is closely monitored and redefined. Customer credit limits are set based on internal or external ratings following the management's limits.

The current situation, which is compounded by both the COVID 19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, requires further vigilance. The ever-increasing energy costs combined with supply chain problems and delays in deliveries force us to redefine how we approach credit risk by trying to examine the extent to which our customers are affected by these factors.

For specific credit risks, provisions for losses from impairment. The backdating of collections is an issue to be managed but is not linked to the good standing of our debtors.

To minimize the credit risk on cash and cash equivalents, the Group sets limits on the amount to be exposed under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Also, concerning money market instruments, the Group only does business with recognized financial rating institutions.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is addressed both by the steady flow of receipts and by securing sufficient cash from bank financing (focusing on on-the-project basis funding), which is based on the excellent relationship the company has with the largest credit institutions in the country and provides sufficient credit lines to finance our business plans.

Medium-term strategic plans are financed by long-term funds with particular attention to the costs that follow (reference is made to the interest rate risk section).

In addition, excellent relationships with our suppliers, which are based on long-lasting, reliable, and stable relationships, provide us with significant help in trying to smooth cash flow.

Capital Management

The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong investment-grade credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its operations and expand the Group's activities.

The group's policy is to maintain leverage targets in line with an investment-grade profile. The gearing ratio is calculated by dividing the net borrowing by the total capital employed.

Investment financing has affected the change in both long-term bank loans and cash. At the same time, the significant increase in receivables due to the large contribution of the fourth quarter to the total turnover increased the need for short-term borrowing, which was reflected in the increase in short-term bank loans. Although they increased the net debt, these movements were deemed necessary for the company's long-term planning to increase both the market share and the profits. The first sample of this result is reflected in the results of 2021, and an upward trend is expected in the coming years.

Risk of COVID-19 spread

After its gradual recovery last year, the global economy is entering 2022 weaker than expected, the IMF report says, as the new Omicron variant has led to increased mobility constraints and instability in financial markets from the very end of 2021.

Although the symptoms of the Omicron variant are less severe, increased transmission can increase labour shortages and put additional strain on hospitals, causing more severe and longterm mobility restrictions beyond the first trimester. This reinforces the disruption to world trade caused by the pandemic and changes in behavior that have led to shortages, supply chain disruptions, and higher prices for imported consumer goods.

To alleviate the problems, it should be noted that interventions to strengthen the economy are intensifying at the European level, and in this context, on 11 February 2021, the European Council approved the regulation establishing the Recovery and Sustainability Mechanism. The € 672.5 billion mechanism is the main tool in the EU's unprecedented recovery effort through the Next Generation EU - the € 750 billion plan agreed by EU leaders in July 2020 to come out stronger from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Recovery and Resilience Mechanism in the coming years will play a key role in helping the Member States tackle the economic and social impact of the pandemic, while at the same time, their economies will move green and digitally to become more sustainable and resilient. The EU Economy and Finance Ministers approved the first package of executive decisions of the Council approving national recovery and resilience plans, and on 13 July 2021, 12 EU countries (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Denmark, Greece, Spain, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Portugal, and Slovakia) got the green light to use EU funds for recovery and resilience to boost their economies and recover from the effects. COVID-19 disease. The adoption of executive decisions by the Council approving the plans allows the Member States to sign grant and lending agreements which will enable pre-financing of up to 13%.

Despite the budget constraints, the government managed to lift the financial commitments for 2020 and 2021. It undertook and implemented programs to support household incomes, businesses, and the economy's liquidity. In parallel with its successful presence in the negotiations at the European Council, Greece secured an aid package of approximately € 70 billion, € 32 billion from the NGEU, and € 38 billion from the MFF. The return to the markets with the issuance of a 30-year bond and the possibility for Greece to proceed with a gradual debt restructuring, replacing part of what is short-term with longer-term securities and prepaying € 3.3 billion owed to the IMF, demonstrate in the best way climate reversal in its favour and global recognition of effective coronavirus crisis management.

At the same time, a significant part of Greek companies, despite the digital deficit that characterized them in general, showed strong capabilities to adapt to the needs of the pandemic by adopting the practice of teleworking and other digital solutions to continue their operation, such as e-commerce.

In the context of its obligation for disclosure of information (market disclosure), Space Hellas Group estimates that at this stage, there is no significant impact on its fundamental figures and its financial situation. Uncertainty remains, however, and we will continually review the data and provide further information whenever necessary.

In particular, most group's activity is carried out with large and medium-sized customers operating in various industries with the different potential impacts from Covid-19 in demand for IT products and network equipment, but in any case, due to the current situation need for communication and interoperability have increased. The group and the company equally evaluate the ability to respond to both potentially increased demand and reduced lead time to meet increased maintenance and/or infrastructure improvement needs in response to the collective effort to address the pandemic, given that, in many cases, telecommunications are the only means of operation and communication and as such are given priority.

Following the above, the Group closely monitors the developments regarding the spread of COVID-19 coronavirus. Its position as a leading System Integrator and Value-Added Solutions Provider in the field of logistics software and information technology enables it to respond in these difficult times and to implement, as far as possible, the plan at its disposal for the smooth operation of its activities, always in accordance with the applicable legislation and obligations as imposed by the official instructions of the competent authorities at a national or local level.

In this context, it takes precautionary measures for the safety of employees, which is an absolute priority, has established and maintains clear internal and external protocols for regular and urgent communication with employees and other key stakeholders, and has already prepared and implemented in full a plan to ensure business continuity.

Business travel is kept to a minimum, and remote work (teleworking) systems are implemented where possible. Additional human resource planning has also been put in place for staff performing operations critical to business continuity to minimize the risk of downtime.

The following additional actions have also been taken:

  • back-up arrangements in case employees who are responsible for health and safety are unable to perform their roles.
  • Special arrangements for employees belonging to vulnerable groups.
  • Establish procedures for self-isolation of staff in the event of a symptom compatible with COVID-19 infection at work.
  • Establishing procedures for staff to report any symptoms compatible with COVID-19 infection that they or someone in their environment has while at the same time away from work. A negative molecular test result is required for staff to return to work.
  • Regular disinfections in all workplaces as well as in the company's cars.
  • Providing staff with appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, masks, antiseptics.
  • Continuous information training of staff for the management of health and safety at work by the occupational physician as well as by the manager of "COVID19" appointed by the company.
  • The staff, for their return to work after a long vacation (summer, Christmas, Easter) undergoes molecular test COVID-19.

In all cases, the cost of the molecular test is borne by the company.

Finally, the company is actively involved in actions that are part of the national effort to address the pandemic.

In addition to the ongoing management of operational risk due to the Covid-19 epidemic, an enhanced supervisory system was put in place to protect the group's financial position.

  • The investment plan was carefully re-evaluated and will be re-assessed according to the current situation.
  • A new cost reduction program was designed and implemented, where the company's functionality is not significantly affected.

The Group acts with caution regarding the timing of the execution of the projects it has already undertaken or will undertake during the year, as in addition to any other unforeseen factors, the spread of the coronavirus in Greece may affect the domestic IT market due to possible delays in the acquisition of equipment from abroad.

Despite the problems that the coronavirus can cause in the IT market, individual activities in the industry may be positively affected as the current conditions will change the way companies, organizations, and working groups operate and create a wider culture of fewer personal contacts and more remote communications. This is likely to create a culture of more sustainable technology solutions, especially for cloud services that Space Hellas is ready to offer.

The above are important mitigating factors of the risk involved in the uncertainty for the development of the situation but also maintaining the competitive position of the group in each of its areas of activity.

The above planning reduced the potential financial impact on the results so far. Any further implications will depend, to a large extent, on future developments.

The specific circumstances we are experiencing affect the economic environment at least in the short term, and lead us to assess whether we have a significant increase in credit risk (SICR). The nature of the effects of the economic shock is considered temporary and, in combination with the impact of the support and relief measures taken by the government, leads us to conclude that these countervailing forces are being offset.

Using past information and, more specifically, the crisis of 2015 in our country, we can say that the increase in credit risk did not affect our company significantly as credit risk management policies worked satisfactorily. The company's management estimates that, at present, there is no need to change the data that affect IFRS 9 and consequently increase the credit risk.

However, since the phenomenon continues to be fully evolving, and although we do not see today a significant impact on the fundamental size of the group, its quantitative and qualitative consequences on the operation of the group and the company cannot fully be estimated at present.

Risk related to United Kingdom's exit from the European Union

On 28.04.2021, the European Parliament approved the trade agreement concluded by the EU with the United Kingdom, thus agreeing on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.

The Trade and Cooperation Agreement was signed on 30 December 2020, applied provisionally from 1 January 2021, and entered into force on 1 May 2021.

The Trade and Cooperation Agreement covers not only trade in goods and services but also a wide range of other areas of interest to the EU, such as investment, competition, state aid, tax transparency, air and road transport, energy and sustainability, fisheries, data protection and coordination of social security systems.

The agreement also provides zero duties and quotas for all goods that meet the appropriate rules of origin.

The EU-UK information security agreement will allow the two parties to exchange classified information, enforcing solid guarantees regarding the handling and protection of the

information exchanged as the exchange of classified information between partners remains an important tool of cooperation to address common security threats.

Greece's trade and economic ties with Britain have a long history and are of great importance.

Greece, aiming to strengthen cooperation with the United Kingdom in areas of mutual interest and the post-Brexit era, continues its bilateral consultations with the British side. In this context, initiatives have already been taken, such as the Immigration Action Plan and the Defense Action Plan, while the possibility of revising (a) the Greece-UK Education and Culture Agreement of 1953 and (b) the Greece-UK Agreement is being assessed for the shipping sector and (c) the Double Tax Treaty agreement.

However, the administrative burden, as well as the increased indirect and direct costs related to the new procedures regarding tax, customs, and/or healthy controls, do not affect the Group's transactions.

Risk related to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine and the energy crisis

2022 is a year in which, in addition to the usual references to COVID 19, Brexit, and emerging inflation, the war in Ukraine was added. Therefore, we are obliged to take into account the situation considering all the above parameters both at the level of the Greek economy and at the level of the Group.

2021 ended with significant problems in the delivery of goods and shortages of raw materials due to the sharp slowdown of the global production due to Covid 19 and its equally rapid restart. The economy was not ready to withstand the growing demand, and delays were a big problem. At the beginning of 2022, the first signs of easing the supply appeared, and the war not only stopped but was further burdened.

In Greece, estimates for 2022 growth have fallen, and confidence in industry and retail has deteriorated. Specifically, the economic climate index in Greece showed a slight decline and stood at 113.2 points in March, slightly lower than the previous month (114.0 points), but remained at the highest level of the last twenty-one years.

In the Eurozone and the wider European Union, the economic climate index fell sharply in March, reaching 108.5 and 107.5 points, respectively, from 113.9 and 112.8 points last month.

The decline in the index in March is mainly due to the sharp decline in consumer confidence, accompanied by losses in both industry and retail trade, under inflationary pressures that have prevailed since the autumn but escalated after the invasion of Ukraine.

The existing and potential effects of the war are mainly reflected in consumer confidence, which, after a two-month rise, fell sharply in March to its lowest level in 16 months.

The economic effects of the conflict have been felt mainly through rising energy and food prices, deteriorating confidence, financial market turmoil, and further disruptions in supply chains. Despite the positive impact of EU funding and the Recovery Fund, the outlook for this year is facing growing opposing forces.

Inflation continued to be a major issue, with energy, transport, and food prices being the main drivers of the upward trend. To mitigate the negative effects of higher energy costs on households and businesses, the European Council, at its meeting on 24-25 March, called on the Member States and the Commission to continue to make the best use of the toolkit for its energy prices and the temporary state aid framework for the crisis. The Greek government has already extended further subsidies to protect the most vulnerable and announced additional relief measures.

Investments, on the other hand, will continue to support the recovery. During the pandemic, investments went fairly well and continued to show strong resilience in 2021, increasing by more than 19% year-over-year. With NGEU funds to be spent in 2021-26, around € 31 billion (€ 17.8 billion in grants and € 12.7 billion in loans), investment is estimated to remain resilient in 2022.

Already on Friday, April 1, 2022, a contract was signed by the Hellenic Development Investment Bank (EATE - former TANEO) for the management of the funds of the Recovery and Resilience Fund (RRF), amounting to 500 million euros, which are expected to leverage total funds, 2 billion euros in the Greek economy.

The geopolitical and economic developments due to the war are expected to be a key factor in shaping the conditions in the Greek and world economy in the coming period. The initial effects on energy costs have widened the supply of certain consumer products and raw materials at the economic level. However, the medium-term effects on supply chains are premature to assess. Economic policy responses have been initiated by governments and are primarily concerned with curbing high energy costs, while central banks are currently holding a wait-and-see attitude with minor changes to their policy tools. Any new economic policy initiatives shortly and the expectations of businesses and households will depend crucially on developments in the war in Ukraine.

The Group has zero exposure in the markets of Ukraine and Russia as they are not part of its supply chain nor do they contribute to the turnover, so no negative effects are expected due to the EU financial sanctions and the countermeasures of the Russian Federation against the member countries. of the EU.

2.7 ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA / 2015 / 1415el) published the final guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) applicable from 3 July 2016 to securities companies traded on organized exchanges. APMs are disclosed by publishers when publishing regulated information and are intended to enhance transparency and promote the usefulness and fair and full information to the investing public.

The Alternative Performance Measurement Score (EMMA) is an adjusted economic measurement of historical or future economic performance, financial position, or cash flow other than the economic measurement set out in the applicable financial reporting framework. That is to say, APM does not rely exclusively on the standards of financial statements but provides substantial additional information, excluding elements that may differ from operating results or cash flows.

EMMA should always be taken into account in conjunction with the financial results prepared under IFRSs and should be considered replacing them under no circumstances. The Group uses the Custom Indicators (EMMA) to better reflect the financial and operating performance related to the Group's activity as such in the reference year and the corresponding previous comparable period.

Adjusting elements

Figures influencing the adjustment of the indices used by the Group to extract the ALPs according to the financial statements of 2021 and the corresponding financial statements of the prior year are the provisions for trade receivables impairment.

The elements affecting the adjustment of the indicators (ALPs) on 31.12.2021 and 31.12.2020 are shown in the table below:

Group
Amounts in € thousand 31.12.2021 31.12.2020
Comprehensive Income Statement
Provisions for impairment 477 19
Total 477 19

Based on the above adjustments, the EMMAs used by the Group are formed as follows:

Adjusted EBITDA

The adjusted EBITDA of the current period is marginally increased by 5,05% compared to EBITDA, while compared to the previous period, the adjusted EBITDA is increased by 45,21%.

Adjusted EBIT

The adjusted EBIT for the current year is 7,39%, higher than EBIT, while compared to the previous period, results to be increased by 42,99%.

Adjusted Cash Flows After Investments

The Adjusted Cash Flows after investments for the current are decreased by 2% compared to Cash Flows after investments while compared to the previous period.

Adjusted Net Borrowing

Both in the current and the previous period, the adjusted Net borrowing is almost equal to the net borrowing.

Regarding the definition and basis of calculation of EDMA, a more detailed analysis is contained in note 4.7 of this financial report.

Always a pioneer and with great sensitivity, the Group combines its development with the management and protection of the environment, making daily efforts to reduce the environmental impact of its activities. It aligns the economic viability and optimal efficiency of infrastructure with the social and moral responsibilities arising from the need to reduce the energy and environmental footprint in the natural environment. In terms of premises, the group's activities do not include industrial or other polluting units, while the IT services it offers require only standard office space infrastructure for staff and equipment storage.

As part of the implementation of the Group's commitment to an environmentally responsible operation, we have developed and implemented an Environmental Management System according to the international standard ISO14001: 2015, for which we have been certified by independent internationally recognized certification bodies in Athens, Thessaloniki and other facilities. All environmental risks are identified and assessed annually, and appropriate measures are taken to minimize them to a very low and tolerable level.

Main objectives:

  • Limiting energy consumption
  • Reducing gas emissions that contribute to climate change

  • Systematic recycling of materials such as paper, plastic, packaging, metals, waste, batteries, electrical and electronic devices
  • Reduction of plastic use
  • Reducing the consumption of scarce natural resources such as water, wood, paper, metals, as well as liquid or gaseous fuels.
  • Reduce pollution and use more environmentally friendly substances for cleaning and disinfection.

Older air conditioning devices are replaced with newer high-performance ones and are strictly maintained to prevent damage and leaks. In addition, noise pollution and annoyance in the neighbourhoods are reduced.

Energy control and related energy management for office buildings (corporate facilities) have also started to be applied.

The Group has also adhered to the Approved Collective Alternative Waste Management System for Electrical and Electronic Equipment by recycling any old electrical or electronic equipment, mobile phones, computers, printers, etc., as well as their accessories. The Group participates in the Collective Alternative Packaging Management System, organized by the Hellenic Recycling Utilization Company (EEE), and deals with the alternative packaging waste management to recycle the packaging of the mobile devices. It implements paper recycling programs, PLASTIC WOOD, METAL, portable batteries, ink cartridges, and toners. Last but not least, the supply of electronic products is only made by manufacturers certified under the RoHS Directive (Registration of Hazardous Substances) so that their packaging is free from environmentally hazardous substances and heavy metals.

Regarding the environmental risks due to a possible fire, the appropriate fire detection and fire protection systems have been installed in the buildings, which are constantly monitored on a 24-hour basis. In addition, emergency management teams have been organized and trained, while in the main buildings, there is also an internal night guard with a physical presence for prevention and timely response to any dangerous incident.

Direct emissions CO2 (Scope 1)

The C-E1 Index measures the direct CO2 emissions (in tn-CO2 tons) from the operation of the Company. Sources of such direct emissions are heating burners for buildings that use burners and emissions from company cars.

Also mentioned is the emission intensity (tn CO2 / m €) reduced to the CO2 emitted tons per million € of turnover.

Indirect emissions CO2 (Scope 2)

The C-E2 Index measures the indirect CO2 emissions (in tn-CO2 tonnes) coming from the electricity consumed by the corporate facilities

To produce this energy depending on the energy mix of the electricity suppliers, fossil fuels such as lignite, liquid fuels such as oil, or gaseous fuels such as natural gas have been consumed in the power plants.

For the calculation of the corresponding amount of CO2, depending on the respective average energy mix, which varies annually, the data were obtained from the most recent publications of DAPEEP (Renewable Energy Manager @ Guarantees of Origin).

Also, the emission intensity (tn CO2 / m €) is reported reduced to the emitted tons of CO2 per million € of turnover.

Energy Consumption - Production

Space Hellas and the group's companies are not producers of electricity; thus, we are limited to the measurement and monitoring of annual consumption always to limit them and minimize consumption.

The most important source of consumption is heat pumps for air conditioning (heating and cooling of buildings). Annual meteorological conditions also affect energy consumption. Also, the policy of open windows for better ventilation of buildings due to COVID-19 negatively affects energy consumption.

The index also requires the publication of percentages of production and consumption of energy from renewable sources if they exist, for example, from installed solar panels, which in our case do not exist and are zero, as shown in the table.

Advanced Environmental Indicators:

Other Indirect CO2 Emissions (Scope 3)

Indicator A-E1 includes greenhouse gas emissions from sources not owned and controlled by the company, e.g. sources in the production and transport of products and goods and gas emissions from energy consumption after installation in customers until the end of their lives.

The company does not produce any specific products to make such calculations. Due to the diversity of the thousands of different portable devices coming from different manufacturers through the commercial activity and the Integration of the company, it is not possible at this stage for a reliable calculation of such emissions.

Reliable manufacturers/suppliers with relevant certifications that prove respect for the environment are preferred. However, during the design phase of the solutions and choices of the offered devices, both the devices' energy consumption and the suppliers' reliability are always taken into consideration. The process is monitored by the company's environmental management system (ISO 14001), which is checked and certified annually.

Risks and opportunities from climate change A-E2

Climate change increases extreme weather events and creates risks such as:

  • Increased energy consumption during the winter months due to increased cold (buildings and cars).
  • Due to heat (buildings and cars), increased energy consumption during the summer months.
  • Increased energy costs due to CO2 emission pricing policy.
  • Reduction of staff productivity due to extreme phenomena such as heatwaves, blockades from snowfall, excessive rainfall, and floods.
  • Delays in staff movements due to traffic chaos in adverse weather conditions. Reduction of productivity in external technical interventions.
  • Delays in delivery of equipment to customers and delays in completion of projects due to extreme and adverse weather conditions.

  • Risks of flooding and destruction of goods in the company's warehouses or external logistics partners. (The company always insures the goods for damage during transport or storage).

  • Reduction of turnover due to delays/increase of delivery time from suppliers due to disasters in production plants / raw materials due to extreme weather phenomena.
  • Increased equipment failure from exposure and operation in extreme conditions
  • Risks of health and personnel accidents.

Climate change sometimes creates opportunities such as:

  • Increased demand/sales of digital transformation and teleworking solutions from customers
  • Increase of work of technician/provision of technical support services in periods of unfavourable conditions/failures.
  • Opportunities for staff awareness training on climate change issues and improving relevant behaviour and respect for the environment.

The Group, applying the environmental management system that it has developed (based on the ISO 14001 standard) records, systematically updates (annually) and scores:

  • All environmental issues and their implications / per installation and at the corporate level.
  • The risks and the appropriate mitigation measures.
  • Opportunities and actions to take advantage of them.

Waste management A-E3

The Group does not have hazardous polluting facilities as it has no industrial or chemical production.

Waste is limited to the usual waste of office buildings.

In addition, the Group imports electronic equipment for the installation of information systems and solutions as well as electronic equipment. These functions include packaging waste. We are members of EEAA (Hellenic Recycling Utilization Company that manages the blue bins), and we pay a subscription based on the packaging of the goods we distribute as provided by law.

Also, the repairs of electronic devices create waste of electronic devices and components as well as the need to recycle old batteries.

To address the above, the Group uses recycling using special recycling bins in all areas for the usual office waste that is recycled.

Paper, plastic, metals, glass, wood, batteries, electronic and electrical appliances, and components, light bulbs are recycled.

No other methods are used except recycling (composting, incineration, landfilling, etc.) We annually train the staff on issues of environmental sensitivity, climate change, and recycling, while for recycling, it uses recycling companies such as:

3 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Shareholders of SPACE HELLAS S.A

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements of "SPACE HELLAS S.A." (Company), which comprise the separate and consolidated statement of financial position as of 31 December 2021, the separate and consolidated income statements, statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the separate and consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the separate and consolidated financial position of the Company and of its subsidiaries (the Group) as of 31 December 2021, their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), as they have been transposed into Greek Law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements section of our report.

We remained independent of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries throughout our audit in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Auditors of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, as incorporated in the Greek Legislation and the ethical requirements related to the audit of corporate and consolidated financial statements in

Greece and we have fulfilled our ethical obligations in accordance with the requirements of applicable law and the abovementioned Code of Ethics.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters and related risks of material misstatement were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements as a whole and informing our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

1. Revenue recognition

In accordance with the accounting policy described in note 4.5.3.12, "Recognition of income and expenses" of the annual financial report, income is recognized when the relevant risks and rewards associated with the goods sold are transferred to the acquirer. Group revenues come from sales of technology equipment and services. Recognition of revenue involves the risk of inappropriate use of the accrual accounting principle for the relevant year.

The Group has ongoing installation and maintenance service contracts for a large number of customers.

We have examined the wide internal controls of the company and the specific safeguards for monitoring revenue generation, ordering, contract execution, pricing and subsequent collection.

We have conducted revenue analytical procedures and substantive audit procedures on a sample of transactions in order to obtain a reasonable basis for recognizing and accounting for revenue.

2. Recoverability of deferred tax assets

Note 4.6.26 of the attached financial statements refer to the deferred tax liability. This item includes other deferred tax receivables of € 704 thousand for the company and € 1,422 thousand for the Group, for which the Management estimates that there will be a tax benefit in the future.

For these funds, we have verified and examined the ability of the provisions for doubtful receivables to yield tax benefits in the future.

3 Impairment of non-current assets

The Group's non-current assets of the Group comprise goodwill of € 2.790 thousand and a value of investments in the share capital of subsidiaries, affiliates and other companies of € 12.552 thousand (€ 3.020 thousand in 2020). According to the applicable accounting framework, it is required to evaluate at each date of preparation of financial statements whether there are indications of impairment of these items, and if appropriate, it is required to carry out a relevant impairment.

This area was considered important, as in addition to the significance of the amounts, the controlled entity made significant new investments during the current year.

For these amounts, we assessed the management's estimates of whether there is evidence of impairment of these assets. Our audit focused on the following topics:

  • Investigation and evaluation of the internal controls and procedures followed for the evaluation and acquisition of new investments as well as for the procedures and for the identification and evaluation of indications of impairment of non-current assets.

  • We assessed the appropriateness of the value in use model for the impairment test, if any indications arise, evaluating the reasonableness of the assumptions for the preparation of future cash flows and the reasonable discount rate.

  • We assessed the adequacy of the relevant disclosures in the financial statements

Among the non-current assets of the Group is included the value of intangible assets amounting to 16,110, most of which come from the application of IFRS 3, during the merger.

For this item, we evaluated the management estimates, the independent appraiser's reports and the assumptions and other estimates used, as well as the reasonableness of the assumptions and methodologies applied for the recognition and measurement of these assets.

Other information

Management is responsible for the other information. Other information is included in the Board of Directors Report, for which reference is made in section "Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements", in the Statements of the Members of the Board of Directors, but does not include the Consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the separate and consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate and Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Company's and Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concerned and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and Group or to cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Audit Committee (article 44 of Law 4449/2017) is responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company and the Group.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs, as embodied in the Greek Legislation, will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these separate and consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, as embodied in the Greek Legislation, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's and Group's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's and Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the separate and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate and consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company and Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and, where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the current period's separate and consolidated financial statements and are, therefore, the key audit matters.

4.5.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

4.5.2.1 Basis of Preparation

The accompanying annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Council (IACS), as well as their relevant Interpretations, as published by the Standing Committee, adopted by the European Union and binding on the uses expiring on 31 December 2020, in addition to the new standards and interpretations adopted, the implementation of which has become mandatory for what periods after 1 January 2021.

The accompanying annual financial statements have been prepared to comply with the historical cost convention, adjusted with the revaluation of certain assets and liabilities at fair values and with the principle of going concern «going concern».

The Group's comparative advantage is its satisfied customers, its specialized know-how, its excellent organization, continuous investment in modern equipment, its staffing with highly specialized human resources, the development of new products, the recognition of its credibility demonstrated by the excellent relations of the Group with its suppliers and the largest credit institutions in the country and abroad are the guarantee for long-term survival with significant benefits for the shareholders.

The figures in this report are shown in thousands of euros, except when otherwise indicated. Any differences presented between the amounts in the financial statements and the corresponding amounts in the notes are due to rounding. Where necessary, comparative figures have been classified to conform to changes in the presentation of the elements of this period.

The financial figures of the Group on 31.12.2021 include with the method of total consolidation the figures of Singular Logic from 14.07.2021 to 31.12.2021 as well as the figures of Sense One from 29.11.2021 to 31.12.2021.

The preparation of financial statements was made in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and the Group Management is required to make assumptions and accounting estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of preparing financial statements as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

These estimates and assumptions are based on existing experience, and other reasonable factors form the basis for deciding the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, which mainly include any pending legal cases, the provision for expected credit losses, the useful life of non-financial assets, the impairment of property, plant and equipment, impairment of goodwill, impairment of intangible assets, impairment of participations, provision for staff compensation due to retirement, recognition of income and expenses and income taxes. Actual results may differ from the above estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Significant accounting estimates and assumptions about future and other major sources of uncertainty at the date of preparation of the financial statements, which carry a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the following financial year, are as follows:

Impairment of goodwill

The Group assesses whether there is impairment of goodwill at least on an annual basis. For this reason, it is necessary to estimate the use-value of each cash-generating unit to which a goodwill amount has been allocated. The valuation of the use requires the Group to estimate the cash-generating unit's future cash flows and select the appropriate discount rate, based on which the present value of the above future cash flows will be determined. Additional details on impairment testing are included in note 4.6.11.

Income tax provision

The provision for income tax under IAS 12 "Income Taxes" refers to the amounts of taxes expected to be paid to the tax authorities and includes the provision for current income tax and the provision for any additional taxes that may arise as a result of an audit by the tax authorities. The Group companies are subject to different laws regarding income tax, and therefore, a significant assessment is required by the management in order to determine the Group's provision for income taxes. Income taxes may differ from these estimates due to future changes in tax legislation, significant changes in the laws of the countries in which the Group and the Company operate, or unforeseen consequences from the final determination of the tax liability of each fiscal year by the tax authorities. These changes can have a significant impact on the financial position of the Group and the Company. If the resulting final surcharges are different from the originally recorded amounts, these differences will affect income tax and deferred tax provisions for the year in which the tax differences were determined. Additional details are included in Note 4.6.6.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in the event of temporary differences between the accounting base and the tax base of the assets and liabilities using the tax rates that have been enacted and are expected to apply in the periods in which those differences are expected to be eliminated. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all temporary deductible differences and transferable tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available that will be used against the temporary deductible differences and the transferable unused taxable assets. The Group and the Company take into account the existence of future taxable income and follow a continuous conservative tax planning strategy when estimating the recovery of deferred tax assets. Accounting estimates related to deferred tax assets require management to make assumptions about the timing of future events, such as the probability of expected future taxable income and the tax planning options available. Additional details are included in Note 4.6.26.

Provisions for expected credit losses from receivables from customers and contractual assets

The Group and the Company apply the simplified approach of IFRS 9 to calculate expected credit losses. The loss forecast is always measured at an amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses for receivables from customers and contractual assets. The Group and the Company have formed a provision for expected credit losses in order to adequately cover the loss that can be reliably estimated and derived from these receivables. At each financial statement date, all receivables are estimated based on historical trends, statistics, and future expectations regarding the collection of receivables from overdue customers. The formed forecast is adjusted by burdening the results of each year. Any write-offs of receivables from accounts receivable are made through the formed provision. Additional details are included in Note 4.6.16.

Post-employment benefits and other defined benefit plans

Liabilities for staff compensation due to retirement are calculated at the discounted present value of the future compensation benefits accrued at the end of the year. Liabilities for these benefits are calculated on the basis of financial and actuarial assumptions that require management to make assumptions about discount rates, wage increases, mortality and disability rates, retirement ages and other factors. Changes in these key assumptions can significantly affect the liability and related costs of each period. The net cost of the period consists of the present value of the benefits incurred during the year, the interest-bearing future liability, the accrued service costs and the actuarial gains or losses. Due to the long-term nature of these defined benefit plans, these assumptions are subject to a significant degree of uncertainty. Additional details are included in Note 4.5.2.3.

Assessment of the useful life of assets

The Group and the Company must assess the useful life of tangible assets and intangible assets recognized either through acquisition or through business combinations. These estimates are reviewed at least annually, taking into account new data and market conditions.

Contingent liabilities

The Group and the Company examine the cases of any legal case or dispute on a periodic basis and assess the potential financial risk based on the opinion of the legal services. If the potential loss from any dispute or legal case is considered probable and the amount can be estimated reliably, the Group and the Company calculate a provision for the estimated loss. Both in determining the probability and in determining whether the risk can be reliably assessed, management judgment is required to a significant degree. When additional information becomes available, the Group and the Company review the contingent liability and litigation

and may revise estimates of the likelihood of an adverse outcome and the related estimate of the potential loss. Such revisions to the estimates of the contingent liability may have a material effect on the financial position and results of the Group and the Company.

Impairment of property, plant, and equipment

Determining the impairment of property, plant, and equipment requires estimates but is not limited to the cause, time and amount of the impairment. Impairment is based on a number of factors, such as technological depreciation, service interruption, current replacement costs, and other changes in circumstances that indicate impairment. The recoverable amount is usually determined using the discounted cash flow method. The determination of impairment, as well as the estimation of future cash flows and the determination of the fair values of assets (or groups of assets), require management to make significant estimates regarding the determination and assessment of impairment, expected cash flows, the discount rates to be applied, the useful lives and the residual values of the fixed assets.

Determining the duration of the lease of contracts with extension or termination rights

The Group and the Company determine the duration of the lease as the irrevocable period of the lease, in combination with the periods covered by the right to extend the lease if it is rather certain that they will be exercised, or the periods covered by the right to terminate the lease if it is rather certain that they will not be exercised. The Group and the Company have certain lease agreements that include extension and termination rights and apply judgment to assess whether the exercise of the extension right or the non-exercise of the right to terminate the lease is more certain. For this reason, all relevant events that create a financial incentive for the lessee to exercise the right to extend the lease or not to exercise the right to terminate the lease are examined. After the start date of the lease term, the Group and the Company reassess the duration of the lease in the event of a significant event or significant change in circumstances that come under their control and affect whether or not they are likely to exercise the lease right of extension or termination (e.g., making significant improvements or significant adjustments to the leased asset, ability to replace leased assets without significant cost or disruption of activities). Additional details are included in Note 4.6.9.

Leases - Estimation of the interest rate increase

The Group and the Company use the Incremental Borrowing Rate (I.B.R.) to determine the lease interest rate so that their lease liabilities can be measured. The incremental interest rate would be the interest rate that the Group would bear if it borrowed the necessary funds to purchase an asset of similar value to the asset with a right of use, for a similar period of time, with similar collateral and in a similar financial environment.

In order to determine this interest rate, the following methodological approach is followed:

  • Determination of existing borrowing rate which is defined as the average borrowing rate of the Group.
  • Assessment of the company's creditworthiness and its credit rating based on the credit rating methodology of the recognized international rating agency Moody's Investors Service.
  • Assessment of the Group's creditworthiness and its credit rating after the Additional Debt based on the credit rating methodology of the recognized international rating agency Moody's.
  • Determination of the change that will occur in the credit rating of the Group due to the increase of the total debt with the total nominal value of all the rents of the Group foreseen for the following years, according to the methodology of Moody's.
  • Calculation of the incremental interest rate (IBR) that will be used to estimate the present value of the projected rents of each professional (operating) lease, which will result from the existing borrowing rate increased by a premium due to the Additional Debt assumed by the Group.

Depreciation of Inventories

Provisions are formed for depreciated, useless stocks with very low market movement. Reductions in the value of inventories to net realizable value and other impairment losses on inventories are recognized in the income statement during the period in which they are incurred.

Construction contract budgets

The handling of the revenue and expenses of a construction contract depends on whether the final result from the execution of the contractual project can be estimated reliably. When the result of a project contract can be estimated reliably, then the revenue and expenses of the contract are recognized during the contract period, respectively, as revenue and expense. The Group uses the completion stage to determine the appropriate amount of income and output to recognize in a given period. The completion stage is measured based on the contractual cost incurred up to the reporting date in relation to the total estimated construction cost of each project. Therefore, significant estimates of the management are required regarding the gross margin with which the executed construction contract will be executed (estimated execution cost).

4.5.2.2 Accounting Methods and their Changes

The accounting principles and calculations on which the financial statements were prepared are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual financial statements as of 31 December 2020 and have been applied consistently, except for the amendments listed below,

which the group has adopted. On January 1, 2021. The group applied the decision of the IFRS Interpretations Committee published in May 2021 on IAS 19, "Distribution of benefits in periods of service" and presents below (Note 4.5.2.3) the nature and impact of the change. The remaining amendments and interpretations first applied in 2021 did not have a material impact on the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.

4.5.2.3 New standards, standard revisions, and interpretations Standards and interpretations mandatory for the current year

The International Accounting Standards Board has issued the following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments to Standards (IASB), which have been adopted by the European Union and are mandatory from 01/01/2021 onwards.

Amendments to IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts" - deferral of IFRS 9 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2021). In June 2020, the IASB issued amendments amending the date of initial application of IFRS 17 for two years, i.e. it will apply for annual periods beginning on or after the Semi-Annual Financial Report for the period 55 from 1 January to 30 June 2020 on 1 January 2023. As a result, the IASB also extended the set deadline for the temporary exemption from the application of IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" contained in IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts", resulting in entities being able to are required to apply IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16: "Interest Rate Reference Point - Phase 2" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2021). In August 2020, the IASB completed the assessment and response process to reform interbank interest rates and other interest rate benchmarks by issuing a series of amendments to five Standards. The amendments complement those issued in 2019 and focus on the impact on the Financial Statements when a company replaces the old reference rate with an alternative reference rate as a result of the reform. More specifically, the amendments relate to how a company will account for changes in contractual cash flows, how it will account for a change in hedging relationships as a result of the restructuring, and related information that it will need to disclose.

IFRS 16 "Leases-Rental Discounts Related to Covid-19 (Amendments)": Earlier application is permitted, including financial statements not yet approved for issue as of May 28, 2020. As a direct consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic. The IASB amended the standard exempting tenants from applying the requirements of IFRS 16 in respect of lease amendment accounting for resulting rental deductions. The amendment provides a practical convenience for the lessee to account for any change or reduction in leases as a consequence of Covid-19, in the same

  • A change in rent payments results in a revised consideration that is substantially the same as or less than the rental consideration immediately prior to the change;
  • Any reduction in rent payments affects payments due on or before June 30, 2021,
  • There is no substantial change in other terms and conditions of the lease.

IAS 19 (Employee Benefits) "Distribution of Benefits in Service Periods"

The International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee ("the Commission") adopted in May 2021 the final agenda item entitled "Service Allocation (IAS 19)", which includes explanatory material on how to allocate the benefits in periods of service on a specific program of defined benefits analogous to that defined in article 8 of L.3198 / 1955 regarding the provision of compensation due to retirement (the "Program of Defined Benefits of Labor Law"). This explanatory information differentiates the way in which the basic principles and rules of IAS 19 have been applied in Greece in the past in this regard, and therefore according to what is defined in the IASB Due Process Handbook (par 8.6) », entities that prepare their financial statements in accordance with IFRS are required to amend their Accounting Policy accordingly.

In view of the aforementioned, the above final decision of the Commission's agenda has been treated as a change in accounting policy, applying the change retroactively from the beginning of the first comparative period, in accordance with paragraphs 19-22 of IAS 8. The following tables show the effect of the implementation of the final decision for each specific item of the financial statements that are affected. Lines that were not affected by the changes brought about by the change in accounting policy are not included in the tables:

New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to Existing Standards which have not yet entered into force or have been adopted by the European Union.

The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments to Standards have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) but have either not yet entered into force or have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IAS 1 "Classification of Liabilities as Short-Term or Long-Term" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2022). In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 that affect the presentation requirements. In particular, the amendments clarify one of the criteria for classifying a liability as long-term, the requirement for an entity to have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. The amendments include: (a) clarification that an entity's right to defer settlement should exist at the reporting date; (b) clarification that the liability classification is not affected by management's intentions or expectations regarding the exercise of the deferral (c) explain how lending conditions affect the classification; and (d) clarify the requirements for the classification of liabilities of an entity that it is or may settle through the issuance of own equity instruments. The Group will consider the impact of all of the above on its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any. The above has not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2023). In February 2021, the IASB issued limited-purpose amendments relating to disclosures in accounting policies. The purpose of the amendments is to improve the disclosures of accounting policies in order to provide more useful information to investors and other users of the Financial Statements. More specifically, the amendments

require the disclosure of important information relating to accounting policies rather than the disclosure of significant accounting policies. The Group will consider the impact of all of the above on its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union

Amendments to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment", IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets", and "Annual Improvements 2018 - 2020" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after on 01/01/2022). In May 2020, the IASB issued a series of amendments, including limited-purpose amendments to three Standards, as well as the Council's Annual Improvements. These amendments provide clarification regarding the wording of the Standards or correct minor consequences, omissions or inconsistencies between the requirements of the Standards. More specifically:

  • The amendments to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" update a reference to IFRS 3 in the Conceptual Framework of the Financial Reporting without amending the accounting requirements relating to business combinations.
  • The amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of fixed assets amounts received from the sale of items produced during the preparation of such fixed assets to be ready for use. Instead, the company recognizes these sales revenues and related costs in the Income Statement.
  • The amendments to IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" determine the costs that a company should include in assessing whether a contract is loss-making.
  • The Annual Improvements to IFRS Cycle 2018-2020 make minor amendments to IFRS 1 "First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards", IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments", IAS 41 "Agricultural Crop" IFRS 16 "Leases". The Group will consider the impact of all of the above on its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any. The above has not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2023. In February 2021, the IASB issued limited-purpose amendments that clarify the difference between a change in accounting estimate and a change in accounting policy. This distinction is important, as the change in accounting is applied without retroactive effect and only for future transactions and other future events, in contrast to the change in accounting policy that has retroactive effect and applies to transactions and other events of the past. The Group will consider the impact of all of the above on its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any. The above has not been adopted by the European Union..

Amendments to IAS 12 "Income Taxes: Deferred Tax Related to Receivables and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2023). In May 2021, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IAS 12 to determine how entities should handle deferred tax arising on transactions such as leases and decommitments - transactions that entities recognize at the same time a requirement and an obligation. In certain cases, entities are exempt from recognizing deferred tax when they recognize receivables or liabilities for the first time. The amendments clarify that this exemption does not apply, and entities are required to recognize deferred tax on those transactions. The Group will consider the impact of all of the above on its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any. The above has not been adopted by the European Union.

IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2023). In May 2017, the IASB issued a new standard, IFRS 17, which replaces an intermediate Standard, IFRS 4. The purpose of the IASB project was to develop a single principle-based standard for accounting for all types of insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts held by an insurance company. A single principle-based Standard will enhance the comparability of financial reporting between entities, jurisdictions and capital markets. IFRS 17 sets out the requirements that an entity should apply to financial information related to the insurance contracts it issues and its reinsurance contracts. In addition, in June 2020, the IASB issued amendments that do not affect the fundamental principles introduced when IFRS 17 was first adopted. The amendments are designed to reduce costs by simplifying certain requirements of the Standard, leading to facilitate the transition, as well as to facilitate the transition by postponing the date of application of the Standard for 2023 while providing additional assistance to reduce the effort required during the first application of the Standard. The Group does not expect to have any impact on its Financial Statements. The above has not been adopted by the European Union.

4.5.2.4 Tangible Fixed Assets and Intangible Assets

Fixed assets are presented in the financial statements at their acquisition values or at fair value. Fair value is the amount for which a fixed asset can be exchanged between parties having knowledge of the subject matter and acting voluntarily in a purely commercial transaction. The initial registration/recognition of an asset is always done at cost. The acquisition cost of fixed assets includes the directly distributed costs (purchase price, shipping, insurance premiums, non-refundable purchase taxes, etc.) to get the items in working order by the date of preparation of the financial statements.

Land and buildings of the Company and the Group have been valued at their fair value on 30.06.2020, which was determined after a study by an independent house of certified appraisers.

The remaining tangible fixed assets acquired by the company and the Group are shown at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to the Income Statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The land is not depreciated.

Intangible assets include goodwill, concessions and industrial property rights, as well as computer software both acquired and internally generated as well. The cost of internally generated software comprises the cost of materials and the cost of personnel as well as other costs incurred in order to prepare the asset for the intended use. The criteria used in order to recognise the costs incurred as intangible assets are:

  • The Group intends to proceed in the creation of the asset
  • Technical possibility of completion of the asset to make it ready for use or sale.
  • Adequate technical, financial and other resources for the completion of the asset.
  • Group's ability to use or sell the asset.
  • The capability of the maternally generated asset to create future economic benefits for the Group
  • Reliable measurement of the expenditure attributable to the asset during its development.

The cost of purchasing and deploying software recognized as intangible assets is depreciated using the straight-line method over its useful life.

Other intangible assets (acquisition value of a trademark) are not depreciated due to the inability to reliably measure their commercial viability and inflow in the near future.

The estimated useful life, by category of assets, is as follows:

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each balance sheet date.

4.5.2.5 Investment property

Investment property is intended to generate rental income or profit from its resale. The properties used for the Group's operating activities are not considered an investment but operational. This is also the criterion of separation between investment and operating real estate.

Investment properties as long-term assets are disclosed at fair value, which will be revalued at each end of the year. Any changes in fair value, which represents the free market price, are recognized in the other income/expense of the income statement.

4.5.2.6 Impairment of Assets

Assets with an indefinite useful life are not depreciated and are subject to an impairment review annually, and when some events suggest that the book value may not be recoverable, any resulting difference is charged to the period's results.

Assets that are depreciated are subject to an impairment review when there is evidence that their value will not be recoverable. The recoverable value is greater between the net sales value and the value in use. An impairment loss is recognized by the company when the book value of these assets (or cash-generating unit- CGU) is greater than its recoverable amount.

Net sales value is the amount received from the sale of an asset at an arm's length transaction in which participating parties have full knowledge and participate voluntarily, after deducting any additional direct cost for the sale of the asset, while the value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows that are expected to flow into the company from the use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its estimated useful life

4.5.2.7 Goodwill

Goodwill is the difference between the purchase cost and the fair value of the Assets and Liabilities of a subsidiary/associate at the date of acquisition.

At the date of purchase, the company recognizes the goodwill arising from the acquisition as an asset and displays it at cost. This cost is equal to the amount of the combined cost that exceeds the company's share in the assets, the liabilities, and the contingent liabilities of the acquired company. Goodwill is subject to an impairment test on an annual basis and is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether there are indications of impairment. An analysis is performed to assess whether the carrying amount is fully recoverable if such evidence exists. For easier processing of impairment tests (impairment tests), the amount of goodwill is distributed in cash-generating units.

4.5.2.8 Consolidation

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. Note 1.6(a) outlines the accounting policy on goodwill. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the sum of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquired plus any costs directly attributable to the acquisition. The acquired identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interests.

The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired is recorded as goodwill. Where the cost of the acquisition is less than the fair value of the Group's share of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the cost cannot be recovered. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Transactions with minority interests

For the accounting treatment of minority transactions, the Group applies the accounting principle in which it treats these transactions as transactions with third parties outside the Group. Minority sales create gains and losses for the Group which are recorded in the income statement. Minority purchases generate goodwill, which is the difference between the consideration paid and the percentage of the book value of the net worth of the subsidiary acquired.

Associates

Associates are entities over which the Group generally has between 20% and 50% of the voting rights or over which the Group has significant influence but which it does not control. Investments in associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost. The Group's investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any cumulative impairments losses) identified in the acquisition. At the end of each year, the cost increases with the ratio of the investing company to the changes in the net position of the invested company and decreases with the dividends received from the associate. In its separate financial statements, the company records its investments in affiliated companies at cost less any impairment losses.

Joint Ventures

The company's investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. The equity method is an accounting treatment in which a shareholding in a jointly controlled entity is initially recognized at cost and subsequently adjusted for a change in the consortium's equity after the net acquisition of the joint venture entity. The results of the consortium member include its share in the profits and losses of the jointly controlled entity.

Other companies

Other companies include the value of shares that are not traded on stock markets with a percentage of less than 20%. These companies do not exercise any control by the Group. According to the principles of IAS 32 and 39, these investments are presented in the financial statements at a cost less any provision for impairment.

4.5.2.9 Inventories

Inventories are shown at a lower cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, within the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of selling. The cost of inventories is determined by the weighted average method and includes the costs of acquiring inventories and their specific purchase costs (shipping, insurance premiums, etc.). Appropriate provisions are formed for devalued, useless stocks with very low traffic speed.

Reductions in the value of inventories to net realizable value and other impairment losses are recognized in the income statement during the period in which they are incurred.

4.5.2.10 Trade and other Receivables - provisions

Receivables are initially recognized at their fair value, which is at the same time the transaction value. They are subsequently valued at their amortized cost, reduced by the bad debt provision, which is formed when there is a risk of non-collection of all or part of the amount owed. The Management of the Group periodically reassesses the adequacy of the provision regarding doubtful receivables in relation to its credit policy and takes into account data of the Legal Service of the Group, which arise based on historical data processing and recent developments in the cases it manages. The amount of the impairment provision is the difference between the carrying amount of receivables and the present value of estimated future cash flows and is included in the income statement. If, at a later date, the impairment loss decreases and this decrease may be objectively related to events that occurred after the impairment loss was recognized (for example, the debtor's credit rating improved), the reversal of the loss is recognized in the period results. The fair value of trade and other receivables approximates the carrying amount.

The Group's and Company's commercial and other receivables, except those for which a provision has been made, are all considered receivable.

4.5.2.11 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits with an initial maturity of less than three (3) months

4.5.2.12 Statutory Reserves

Legal Reserve: According to the applicable commercial law, the company is obliged to form a legal reserve of 5% of their annual net profits up to 1/3 of the paid-up share capital. This reserve cannot be distributed during the operational life of the company but can be used to cover losses following an appropriate decision of the Shareholders' General Meeting.

Tax exempted reserves. These reserves are formed when there are:

Tax exempted Earnings, in accordance with the applicable tax framework in Greece. In case of distribution of these gains, these will be taxable at the corporate tax rate in force at the time of distribution to shareholders or converted to equity after the Annual General Meeting of shareholders, taking into account the restrictions that may apply every time

Partially taxed earnings are taxed at a lower tax rate than the then-current rate in Greece. In case of distribution of the gains will be taxable at the corporate tax rate in force at the time of distribution to shareholders or converted to equity after the Annual General Meeting of shareholders, taking into account the constraints that may apply each time.

4.5.2.13 Share Capital

All the shares are registered and listed for trading in the Securities Market of the Athens Exchange since 29-9-2000. All shares are ordinary and nominal. The Share capital amounts to € 6.973.052,40 and is divided into 6.456.530 ordinary nominal voting shares of a nominal value of 1,08 € each, and it's fully paid up.

Upon the acquisition of treasury shares, the amount paid, including related expenses, is deducted from the equity in a separate "Equity Reserve". The Own Shares do not incorporate voting rights. The Own Shares of the Group's subsidiaries (which do not relate to shares of the parent company) are treated in the Group as available-for-sale assets.

4.5.2.14 Earnings per Share

The basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net earnings attributed to the parent company's shareholders by the weighted average number of shares. Impairment earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net return attributable to the parent company's shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for the effect of the stock option.

4.5.2.15 Dividend distribution

Dividends distributed to shareholders are recognized as a liability at the time they are approved for distribution by the General Meeting of Shareholders.

4.5.2.16 Revenue and Expense Recognition

Revenue: The Group and the Company recognize revenue, excluding interest income, dividends and any other source of financial instruments (recognized under IFRS 9), to the extent that they reflect the price to which the Company is entitled. from the transfer of goods and services based on a five-step approach:

  • Recognition of contracts with customers
  • Recognition of the terms of execution of the contracts
  • Determining the price of the transaction
  • Divide the price of the transaction according to the terms of execution of the contracts
  • Recognition of revenue when the Company fulfils the terms of execution of the contracts

Revenue includes sales of goods and services, net of Value Added Tax, discounts and rebates. Revenue is recognized when there is a possibility (highly probable) of financial benefits flowing into the Group and can be measured reliably. Revenues from technical projects are recognized

in the results of the period, depending on the stage of completion of the contractual activity at the date of preparation of the financial statements (input method). Therefore, the cost of the projects that have been executed, but has not been invoiced accordingly to the customer, is recorded in the income statement period together with the corresponding contractual income. Any variable price is included in the contract price only to the extent that it is highly probable that this revenue will not be reversed in the future and is calculated using either the 'expected value' method or the 'most probable amount' method. ». In the process of assessing the possibility of recovering the variable price, the previous experience adapted to the conditions of the existing contracts is taken into account. Additional claims and additional work are recognized if the recovery negotiations are at an advanced stage of negotiation or are supported by independent professional assessments. According to the new standard, costs such as costs of bidding, construction of temporary construction sites, relocation of equipment and workers, etc., that arise after the undertaking of a project can be capitalised according to the new standard.

For the calculation of the costs incurred until the end of the year, any costs related to future work related to the contract are excluded and appear as an ongoing project. The total cost incurred and the profit/loss recognized for each contract are compared with the progressive pricing until the end of the year. Where the costs incurred in addition to the recognized net profit (less losses) outweigh the progressive pricing, the difference arises as a receivable from 'Contract assets' in the 'Customer receivables' item in Current Assets. When progressive pricing exceeds the costs incurred in addition to the net profit (less losses) recognized, the balance is presented as a "Contractual Liabilities" liability in the "Suppliers and Other liabilities" item.

Interest income: Interest income is recognized in profit or loss on a pro-rata basis, based on time and the use of the effective interest rate.

Dividend income: Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.

Expenses: Expenses are recognized in profit or loss on an accrual basis. Payments made under operating leases are transferred to the Income Statement as an expense at the time of the lease.

Intercompany income/expenses within the Group are completely eliminated.

4.5.2.17 Research & Development Expenses

Continuous progress is an integral part of the Group's role as the market is characterized by rapidly changing developments in the field of technologies. Many software products are based on proprietary technologies. The Group invests significant resources in the R&D sector for the development of innovative products in order to be able to meet the requirements of its customers but also to be able to compete effectively in the markets.

4.5.2.18 Grants

Government grants are recognized at their fair value when it is expected with certainty that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all the terms provided.

Government grants related to expenses are deferred and recognized in the results so that they correspond to the expenses intended to reimburse.

4.5.2.19 Financial products - Fair value

The Group and the Company use the following hierarchy to determine and disclose the fair value of financial instruments per valuation technique:

Level 1: Negotiable (non-adjusted) prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities. The fair value of financial assets traded in active money markets is determined based on the published prices valid at the balance sheet date. An "active" money market exists when prices are readily available and regularly reviewed, published by a stock exchange, stockbroker, industry, rating agency or regulator, representing real and frequently repeated trades under normal trading conditions.

Level 2: Other techniques for which all inputs that significantly affect the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of financial assets that are not traded in active money markets (e.g. derivatives contracts outside the derivatives market) is determined using valuation techniques, which rely largely on available information for transactions that are performed in active markets while using as few estimates of the entity as possible.

Level 3: Techniques that use inputs that significantly affect the recorded fair value and are not based on observable market data.

Techniques used to measure financial assets include:

  • Purchase prices or negotiator prices for similar items.
  • The fair value of hedging transactions, is defined as the present value of future cash flows (based on available performance curves).

During the period, there were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 or transfers within and outside Level 3 to measure fair value. The amounts shown in the Financial Statements for cash, trade and other receivables, trade and other current liabilities, as well as short-term bank liabilities, approach their respective fair values due to their short-term maturity. The valuation method was determined by taking into account all the factors in order to accurately determine the fair value and is measured at Level 3 of the hierarchy to determine the fair value.

There were no changes in the valuation techniques used by the Group during the period.

4.5.2.20 Provisions

Provisions are recognized in accordance with the requirements of IAS 37 when the Group can form a reliable estimate of a reasonable legal or contractual liability which arises as a result of prior events, and there is a possibility that an outflow of resources may be required to settle that liability. . The Group creates a provision for onerous contracts when the expected benefit that will result from these contracts, is less than the unavoidable costs of compliance with the contractual obligations. Restructuring provisions include penalties for early termination of leases and payment of compensation for employees due to retirement and are recorded in the period created for the Group's legal or contractual obligation to settle the payment. Expenses related to the usual activities of the Group are not recorded as provisions. The long-term provisions of a particular liability are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows relating to the liability, taking into account the relevant risks.

4.5.2.21 Loans

Borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period they are incurred according to IAS 23 "Borrowing Costs". Loans are initially recognized at cost, which is the fair value of the loan received, less borrowing costs associated with the issue. After initial recognition, they are valued at amortized cost using the effective interest method

4.5.2.22 Benefits for staff

Current benefits: Current benefits to employees (excluding termination benefits) in cash and inkind are recognized as an expense in the year in which they are paid. In case of the outstanding amount, at the date of preparation of the financial statements, this amount is recorded as a liability, while in case the amount paid exceeds the amount of benefits, the Group recognizes the excess amount as an asset (prepaid expense) only to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a refund.

Post-employment benefits: Post-employment benefits include both defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans.

Defined contributions program: Based on the defined contributions program, the Group's obligation (legal) is limited to the amount determined to contribute to the body (insurance fund) that manages the contributions and provides the benefits (pensions, medical care, etc.). The accrued cost of defined contribution plans is recognized as an expense in the period in question.

Defined benefit plan: The defined benefit plan of the Group concerns its legal obligation to pay the staff a lump sum compensation on the date of departure of each employee from the service. The liability recorded in the balance sheet is calculated based on the expected accrued right of each employee, discounted at its present value, in relation to the time when this benefit is expected to be paid. The commitment of the defined benefit is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The interest rate on long-term Greek government bonds is used to discount it.

4.5.2.23 Leases

At the entry into force of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract constitutes or contains a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract transfers control over the use of an identifiable asset for a specified period of time in return for consideration.

Lease accounting by the lessee

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for most leases, except for short-term (leases less than one year) as well as leases whose underlying asset is of low value (under approximately € 4,500). The Group recognizes lease liabilities for lease payments and usufruct assets that represent the right to use the underlying assets.

Assets with right of use

The Group and the Company recognize the assets with the right of use at the date of the beginning of the lease period (i.e. the date when the underlying asset is available for use). Eligible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and are adjusted based on any recalculation of the lease liability. The cost of eligible assets consists of the amount of the lease liability recognized, the initial direct costs and any rents paid at the commencement date of the lease term or earlier, less any lease incentives received. Eligible assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shortest period of time between the term of the lease and its useful life. If the ownership of the leased asset is transferred to the Group or the Company at the end of the lease term or if its cost reflects the exercise of the right to purchase, the depreciation is calculated according to the asset's estimated useful life. The Group and the Company have contracts for means of transport as well as other equipment used in their activities. Assets with the right to use are subject to impairment testing as described in note 7.5.1.5 Impairment of Assets.

Liabilities from leases

At the effective date of the lease, the Group and the Company measure the lease liability at the present value of the leases to be paid during the lease. Leases consist of fixed rents (including substantially fixed rents), less any lease incentives receivable, floating rates that

depend on an index or interest rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. Leases also include the exercise price of the lease if it is probable that the Group or Company will exercise that right and the payment of a lease termination clause if the term of the lease reflects the exercise of a right of termination. Floating rents that do not depend on an index or interest rate are recognized as an expense in the period in which the event of the activation of those payments occurred. For the discounting of rents, the Group and the Company use the Increase rate as the imputed lease rate cannot be easily determined. After the date of commencement of the lease, the amount of the lease liability increases on the basis of interest on the lease and decreases with the payment of the lease. In addition, the carrying amount of the lease liability is revalued if there are revaluations or modifications to the lease.

Lease accounting by the lessor

Substantially leases in which the lessor does not transfer all the financial benefits, and risks arising from the ownership of the leased asset are classified as operating leases. When assets are leased under operating leases, the asset is included in the statement of financial position based on the nature of the asset. Rental income from operating leases is recognized under the terms of the lease using the straight-line method. Substantially a lease that transfers all the financial benefits and risks arising from the ownership of the leased asset is classified as a finance lease. Leased assets are derecognised, and the lessor recognizes a receivable equal to the net investment in the lease. The lease receivable is discounted using the effective interest method, and the carrying amount is adjusted accordingly. Rents receivable increase based on interest on the receivable and decrease with the collection of rents.

4.5.2.24 Suppliers

Trade liabilities are liabilities payable for goods or services acquired in the ordinary course of business by suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year or less or long-term liabilities if the payment is due for more than one year. Liabilities to suppliers are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

4.5.2.25 Income Tax & Deferred Taxation

Income tax consists of current taxes, deferred taxes, i.e. tax charges or deductions related to the financial benefits accruing in the period but have already been or will be charged by the tax authorities at different times, and provisions for additional taxes which may arise under the control of the tax authorities. Income tax is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income for the period, both relating to transactions recorded directly in equity and that relating to the results of the period. The current income tax refers to the tax on the companies' taxable

profits included in the consolidation, as amended according to the requirements of the tax laws, and was calculated based on the applicable tax rates of the countries in which the group companies operate. Deferred income tax is calculated using the liability method in all temporary differences between the tax base and the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. Expected tax effects from temporary tax differences are identified and presented as either deferred tax liabilities or deferred receivables. Deferred tax is determined based on the tax rates applicable at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized in respect of all taxable deductibles and transferable tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible taxable amount can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and decreases to the extent that it is probable that there will be taxable profits against which part or all of the deferred tax assets are used

4.5.2.26 Foreign Currency Transactions

Amounts of the financial statements of the companies of the Group are measured based on the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates (operating currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro, which is the operating currency and the presentation currency of the parent company and all its subsidiaries. Gains and exchange differences arising on the settlement of such transactions during the period and on the conversion of foreign currency-denominated currency at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the financial statements are recognized in the Income Statement.

Foreign exchange differences arising from the conversion of financial statements of foreign holdings are recognized in equity reserve through the statement of comprehensive income.

4.5.2.27 Financial Instruments

Financial instruments valued at fair value

Financial assets and liabilities in the balance sheet include cash, securities, other receivables, equity, and short-term and long-term liabilities.

Financial instruments are presented as receivables, liabilities or equity items based on the substance and content of the relevant contracts from which they arise. Interest, dividends, gains or losses arising from financial products that are classified as receivables or liabilities are accounted for as income or expense, respectively.

The Group considers that the values at which financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the financial statements do not differ materially from fair values.

4.5.2.28 Financial Risk Management

The Group is exposed to various financial risks, including unpredictable fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates, market risks, credit risks and liquidity risks. The overall risk management program of the Group seeks to minimize the possible adverse effects of these fluctuations on the financial performance of the Group.

The Group's management applies risk management policy through the assessment of the risks associated with the Group's activities and functions and carrying out the design of the methodology by selecting the appropriate financial products in order to achieve risk reduction.

The financial instruments used by the Group consist mainly of bank deposits, transactions in foreign currency at current prices or short term currency futures, bank overdrafts, accounts receivable and payables.

In the context of normal business activities, the Group and the Company are exposed to a number of financial and business risks and uncertainties, which are related to both the general economic situation and the specific conditions that are formed in the industry.

The specialized know-how of the company and the group, the continuous investment in highly specialized human resources and the strong infrastructure in combination with the development of new products help and support the Group so that it is constantly competitive and penetrates new markets, reducing the risks.

In addition, our structures, which are constantly adapting to the new business environment, combined with the significant amount of unfinished projects, give us the right to believe that we will meet the needs of the critical year to come and help minimize unbalanced factors.

Common risks to which the Group is exposed are the following:

The financial instruments used by the Group consist mainly of bank deposits, transactions in foreign currency at current prices or short term currency futures, bank overdrafts, accounts receivable and payables.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group's exposure to foreign exchange risk arises from actual or anticipated cash flows in foreign currency (imports - exports). The Group's management constantly monitors the fluctuations and the tendency of foreign currencies and evaluates each case individually, taking appropriate action where necessary through agreements against interest rate risks. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities disclosed in a currency different from the entity's functional currency. For the foreign exchange risk which arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities, the company uses currency futures as required

The main trading currencies of the Group are the Euro and USD.

Price Risk

The Group is not exposed to securities price risk.

The Group is exposed to risk due to the variations in the value of the goods used for trade and of the raw materials used. In order to face the risk of impairment of inventories, rationalized warehouse management aims to minimize the stock according to the progress of the production needs. Our aim is to minimize the warehouse retention time in order to minimize the risk of impairment of inventories

However, in addition to the policies mentioned above, the situation we have been experiencing has affected the supply chain and has made it necessary to take further measures to manage both delivery delays and price increases lately. The most careful management of

the projects both in terms of continuous control of costs and schedules is imperative. The Group invests significantly in the field of Project Management by empowering teams with specialized human resources but also by using modern project management tools in order to smooth as much as possible the problems that arise.

Interest Rate Risk

The fluctuations in the interest rate markets can have a modest impact on the Group's income and the Group's operating cash flows.

It is the policy of the Group to continuously review interest rate trends and the tenor of financing needs. In this respect, decisions are made on a case-by-case basis regarding the tenor and the fixed versus the floating cost of a new loan. Thus, the amount of short term borrowings are variable. All short term borrowings are based on floating rates.

Consequently, the impact of the interest rate (EURIBOR) fluctuations is directly related to the amount of loans.

The period we are going through is characterized as a period of zero and negative interest rates. Today, however, it appears that this policy will consistently reverse the need for intervention, at least for long-term loans.

Therefore, depending on the respective levels of net debt, the group intervenes using interest rate swaps in order to keep costs at budgeted levels and to avoid the risk of a significant impact on earnings in the short term from possible interest rate increases.

Sensitivity analysis of Group's borrowings due to interest rate changes:

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits, derivative financial instruments, and credit risk exposures from customers.

Trade receivables come mainly from large organizations in the private and public sectors. The customers' financial position is closely monitored and redefined according to the new conditions. The Group evaluates the creditworthiness of each customer, either through an independent rating body or internally, taking into account its financial position, previous transactions and other parameters, monitoring the amount of credit provided. Customer credit limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Management.

For specific credit risks, provisions for losses from impairment. The backdating of collections is an issue to be managed but is not linked to the good standing of our debtors.

To minimize the credit risk on cash and cash equivalents, the Group, under policies approved by the Board of Directors, sets limits on the amount to be exposed. Also, with regard to money market instruments, the Group only does business with recognized financial rating institutions.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is addressed both by the steady flow of receipts and by securing sufficient cash from bank financing (focusing on on-the-project basis funding), which is based on the excellent relationship the company has with the largest credit institutions in the country and provides sufficient credit lines to finance our business plans.

Medium-term strategic plans are financed by long-term funds with particular attention to the costs that follow (reference is made to the interest rate risk section).

In addition, excellent relationships with our suppliers, which are based on long-lasting, reliable and stable relationships, provide us with significant help in trying to smooth cash flow.

Capital Management

The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong investment-grade credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its operations and expand the Group's activities.

The group's policy is to maintain leverage targets in line with an investment-grade profile. The gearing ratio is calculated by dividing the net borrowing by the total capital employed.

Investment financing has affected the change in both long-term bank loans and cash. At the same time, the significant increase in receivables due to the large contribution of the fourth quarter to the total turnover increased the need for short-term borrowing, which was reflected in the increase in short-term bank loans. Although they increased the net debt, these movements were deemed necessary for the long-term planning of the company to increase both the market share and the profits. The first sample of this result is reflected in the results of 2021, and an upward trend is expected in the coming years.

Risk of COVID-19 spread

After its gradual recovery last year, the global economy is entering 2022 weaker than expected, the IMF report says, as the new Omicron variant has led to increased mobility constraints and instability in financial markets from the very end of 2021.

Although the symptoms of the Omicron variant are less severe, increased transmission can increase labour shortages and put additional strain on hospitals, causing more severe and longterm mobility restrictions beyond the first trimester. This reinforces the disruption to world trade caused by the pandemic and changes in behaviour that have led to shortages, supply chain disruptions and higher prices for imported consumer goods.

In an effort to alleviate the problems, it should be noted that interventions to strengthen the economy are intensifying at the European level and in this context, on 11 February 2021, the European Council approved the regulation establishing the Recovery and Sustainability Mechanism. The € 672.5 billion mechanisms is the main tool in the EU's unprecedented recovery effort through the Next Generation EU - the € 750 billion plan agreed by EU leaders in July 2020 to come out stronger from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Recovery and Resilience Mechanism in the coming years will play a key role in helping the Member States tackle the economic and social impact of the pandemic, while at the same time, their economies will move green and digitally to become more sustainable and resilient. The EU Economy and Finance Ministers approved the first package of executive decisions of the Council approving national recovery and resilience plans, and on 13 July 2021, 12 EU countries (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Denmark, Greece, Spain, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Portugal and Slovakia) got the green light to use EU funds for recovery and resilience to boost their economies and recover from the effects. COVID-19 disease. The adoption of executive decisions by the Council approving the plans allows the Member States to sign grant and lending agreements which will enable prefinancing of up to 13%.

Despite the budget constraints, the government managed to lift the financial commitments for 2020 and 2021. It undertook and implemented programs to support household incomes, businesses, and the economy's liquidity. In parallel with its successful presence in the negotiations at the European Council, Greece secured an aid package of approximately € 70 billion, € 32 billion from the NGEU and € 38 billion from the MFF. The return to the markets with the issuance of a 30-year bond and the possibility for Greece to proceed with a gradual debt restructuring, replacing part of what is short-term with longer-term securities and prepaying € 3.3 billion owed to the IMF, demonstrate in the best way climate reversal in its favour and global recognition of effective coronavirus crisis management.

At the same time, a significant part of Greek companies, despite the digital deficit that characterized them in general, showed strong capabilities to adapt to the needs of the pandemic by adopting the practice of teleworking and other digital solutions to continue their operation, such as e-commerce.

In the context of its obligation for disclosure of information (market disclosure), Space Hellas Group estimates that at this stage, there is no significant impact on its fundamental figures and its financial situation. Uncertainty remains, however, and we will continually review the data and provide further information whenever necessary.

In particular, most group's activity is carried out with large and medium-sized customers operating in various industries with the different potential impacts from Covid-19 in demand for IT products and network equipment, but in any case, due to the current situation need for communication and interoperability have increased. The group and the company equally evaluate the ability to respond to both potentially increased demand and reduced lead time to meet increased maintenance and/or infrastructure improvement needs in response to the collective effort to address the pandemic, given that, in many cases, telecommunications are the only means of operation and communication and as such are given priority.

Following the above, the Group closely monitors the developments regarding the spread of COVID-19 coronavirus. Its position as a leading System Integrator and Value-Added Solutions Provider in the field of logistics software and information technology enables it to respond in these difficult times and to implement, as far as possible, the plan at its disposal for the smooth operation of its activities, always in accordance with the applicable legislation and obligations as imposed by the official instructions of the competent authorities at a national or local level.

In this context, it takes precautionary measures for the safety of employees, which is an absolute priority, has established and maintains clear internal and external protocols for regular and urgent communication with employees and other key stakeholders, and has already prepared and implemented in full a plan to ensure business continuity.

Business travel is kept to a minimum, and systems for remote work (teleworking) are implemented where possible. Additional human resource planning has also been put in place for staff performing operations critical to business continuity to minimize the risk of downtime.

The following additional actions have also been taken:

back-up arrangements in case employees who are responsible for health and safety are unable to perform their roles.

  • Special arrangements for employees belonging to vulnerable groups.
  • Establish procedures for self-isolation of staff in the event of a symptom compatible with COVID-19 infection at work.
  • Establishing procedures for staff to report any symptoms compatible with COVID-19 infection that they or someone in their environment has while at the same time away from work. A negative molecular test result is required for staff to return to work.
  • Regular disinfections in all workplaces as well as in the company's cars.
  • providing staff with appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, masks, antiseptics).
  • continuous information training of staff for the management of health and safety at work by the occupational physician as well as by the manager of "COVID19" appointed by the company.
  • The staff, for their return to work after a long vacation (summer, Christmas, Easter) undergoes molecular test COVID-19.

In all cases, the cost of the molecular test is borne by the company.

Finally, the company is actively involved in actions that are part of the national effort to address the pandemic.

In addition to the ongoing management of operational risk due to the Covid-19 epidemic, an the increased supervisory system was put in place to protect the group's financial position.

  • The investment plan was carefully re-evaluated and will be re-assessed according to the current situation.
  • A new cost reduction program was designed and implemented, where the company's functionality was not significantly affected.

The Group acts with caution regarding the timing of the execution of the projects it has already undertaken or will undertake during the year, as in addition to any other unforeseen factors, the spread of the coronavirus in Greece may affect the domestic IT market due to possible delays in the acquisition of equipment from abroad.

Despite the problems that the coronavirus can cause in the IT market, individual activities in the industry may be positively affected as the current conditions will change the way companies, organizations, and working groups operate and create a wider culture of fewer personal contacts and more remote communications. This is likely to create a culture of more sustainable technology solutions, especially for cloud services which Space Hellas is ready to offer.

The above are important mitigating factors of the risk involved in the uncertainty for the development of the situation but also maintaining the competitive position of the group in each of its areas of activity

The above planning reduced the potential financial impact on the results so far. Any further implications will depend, to a large extent, on future developments.

The specific circumstances we are experiencing affect the economic environment, at least in the short term, and lead us to clearly assess whether we have a significant increase in credit risk (SICR). The nature of the effects of the economic shock is considered temporary and, in combination with the impact of the support and relief measures taken by the government, leads us to conclude that these countervailing forces are being offset.

Using past information and, more specifically, the crisis of 2015 in our country, we can say that the increase in credit risk did not affect our company significantly as credit risk management policies worked satisfactorily. The management of the company estimates that at the present time, there is no need to change the data that affect IFRS 9 and consequently increase the credit risk.

However, since the phenomenon continues to be fully evolving, and although we do not see today a significant impact on the fundamental size of the group, its quantitative and qualitative consequences on the operation of the group and the company cannot fully be estimated at present.

Risk related to United Kingdom's exit from the European Union

On 28.04.2021, the European Parliament approved the trade agreement concluded by the EU with the United Kingdom, thus concluding the agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.

The Trade and Cooperation Agreement was signed on 30 December 2020, applied provisionally from 1 January 2021 and entered into force on 1 May 2021.

The Trade and Cooperation Agreement covers not only trade in goods and services but also a wide range of other areas of interest to the EU, such as investment, competition, state aid, tax transparency, air and road transport, energy and sustainability, fisheries, data protection and coordination of social security systems.

The agreement also provides zero duties and quotas for all goods that meet the appropriate rules of origin.

The EU-UK information security agreement will allow the two parties to exchange classified information, enforcing strong guarantees regarding the handling and protection of the information exchanged as the exchange of classified information between partners remains an important tool of cooperation to address common security threats.

Greece's trade and economic ties with Britain have a long history and are of great importance.

Greece, aiming to strengthen cooperation with the United Kingdom in areas of mutual interest and in the post-Brexit era, continues its bilateral consultations with the British side. In this context, initiatives have already been taken, such as the Immigration Action Plan and the Defense Action Plan, while the possibility of revising (a) the Greece-UK Education and Culture Agreement of 1953 and (b) the Greece-UK Agreement is being assessed for the shipping sector and (c) the Double Tax Treaty agreement.

However, the administrative burden, as well as the increased indirect and direct costs related to the new procedures regarding tax, customs and/or healthy controls, do not affect the Group's transactions.

Risk related to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine and the energy crisis

2022 is a year in which, in addition to the usual references to COVID 19, Brexit and emerging inflation, the war in Ukraine was added. Therefore, we are obliged to take into account the situation considering all the above parameters both at the level of the Greek economy and at the level of the Group.

2021 ended with significant problems in the delivery of goods and shortages of raw materials due to the sharp slowdown of the global production due to Covid 19 and its equally rapid restart. The economy was not ready to withstand the growing demand, and delays were a big problem. At the beginning of 2022, the first signs of easing the supply appeared, and the war not only stopped but was further burdened.

In Greece, estimates for 2022 growth have fallen, and confidence in industry and retail has deteriorated. Specifically, the economic climate index in Greece showed a slight decline and

stood at 113.2 points in March, slightly lower than the previous month (114.0 points), but still remained at the highest level of the last twenty-one years.

In the Eurozone and in the wider European Union, the economic climate index fell sharply in March, reaching 108.5 and 107.5 points, respectively, from 113.9 and 112.8 points, respectively, last month.

The decline in the index in March is mainly due to the sharp decline in consumer confidence, accompanied by losses in both industry and retail trade, under inflationary pressures that have prevailed since the autumn but escalated after the invasion of Ukraine.

The existing and potential effects of the war are mainly reflected in consumer confidence, which, after a two-month rise, fell sharply in March to its lowest level in 16 months.

The economic effects of the conflict have been felt mainly through rising energy and food prices, deteriorating confidence, financial market turmoil, and further disruptions in supply chains. Despite the positive impact of EU funding and the Recovery Fund, the outlook for this year is facing growing opposing forces.

Inflation continued to be a major issue, with energy, transport and food prices being the main drivers of the upward trend. To mitigate the negative effects of higher energy costs on households and businesses, the European Council, at its meeting on 24-25 March, called on the Member States and the Commission to continue to make the best use of the toolkit for its energy prices and the temporary state aid framework for the crisis. The Greek government has already extended further subsidies to protect the most vulnerable and announced additional relief measures.

Investments, on the other hand, will continue to support the recovery. During the pandemic, investments went fairly well and continued to show strong resilience in 2021, increasing by more than 19% year-over-year. With NGEU funds to be spent in 2021-26, around € 31 billion (€ 17.8 billion in grants and € 12.7 billion in loans), investment is estimated to remain resilient in 2022.

On Friday, April 1, 2022, a contract was signed by the Hellenic Development Investment Bank (EATE - former TANEO) to manage the funds of the Recovery and Resilience Fund (RRF) amounting to 500 million euros, which are expected to leverage total funds 2 billion euros in the Greek economy.

The geopolitical and economic developments due to the war are expected to be a key factor in shaping the conditions in the Greek and world economy in the coming period. The initial effects on energy costs have widened the supply of certain consumer products and raw materials at the economic level. However, the medium-term effects on supply chains are premature to assess. Economic policy responses have been initiated by governments and are primarily concerned with curbing high energy costs, while central banks are currently holding a wait-and-see attitude with minor changes to their policy tools. Any new economic policy initiatives in the near future and the expectations of businesses and households will depend crucially on developments in the war in Ukraine.

The Group has zero exposure in the markets of Ukraine and Russia as they are not part of its supply chain nor do they contribute to the turnover, so no negative effects are expected due to the EU financial sanctions and the countermeasures of the Russian Federation against the member countries. of the EU.

The company's management has established a reliable internal Control System in order to identify potential distortions in the company's commercial activities timely. The insurance coverage against all risks is deemed to be sufficient. The Group and the Company do not expect to face significant short term risks. The company's expertise, the continuous investment in human resources and the solid infrastructures combined with the development of new products enable the preservation of its competitive advantage and the skill to penetrate new markets, mitigating the risks.

Furthermore, the amount of the ongoing projects, together with the ability to adjust to new market conditions, allow believe that the Group will be able to react to challenging years to come efficiently and effectively efficiently.

Goodwill is subject to impairment testing when there is evidence of impairment and is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. At each balance sheet date, the Group conducts an analysis to assess whether the carrying amount of goodwill is recoverable.

  • The amount of € 428 thousand comes from the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the 29/6/2007 after the absorption of the subsidiary "SPACEPHONE SA".
  • the amount of € 169 thousand comes from the acquisition of 100% of our 15/10/2012 subsidiary "SPACE TECHNICAL CONSTRUCTION BUILDING SA."
  • The amount of € 1,494 thousand comes from the acquisition of the remaining 10.03% of "SINGULARLOGIC A.E." that took effect on 15/7/2021. With this purchase, the percentage of participation of SPACE HELLAS in SINGULARLOGIC S.A amounted to 60%., and obtaining the control of this company
  • The amount of € 699 thousand comes from the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of the company SENSE Single Member S.A.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for impairment testing purposes. Allocation is made to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the acquisition from which goodwill originated. The recoverable value of a cash-generating unit is determined using its value in use calculation. This calculation uses cash flow forecasts derived from budgets that have been approved by the management.

Below are the main assumptions adopted by Management in cases where there was a need for impairment, taking into account the specific characteristics:

Discount rate of discount at present value: 3.9%, Growth rate in perpetuity: 2% An impairment decision is made after an examination of the change in the underlying assumptions and if it is deemed to be material and more than 10% of the carrying amount.

4.6.16 TRADE RECEIVABLES

Trade receivables are recognized at their acquisition cost (invoice value) less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all of the amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The provisions formed are then used for the cancellation of the receivables of doubtful liquidation.

Total trade receivables 48.182 27.183 43.791 27.272

The provision for doubtful liquidation has been formed taking into account the maturity of the receivables in line with the credit policy, as well as historical data and information on clients' solvency.

The above table contains the item "Contract Receivables" of € 21,127 thousand and refers to non-invoiced project receivables which are expected to be invoiced in 2022.

The company, during the year, started the execution of projects totalling 3,623 thousand €. At the end of the current year, the company had completed some of these projects. The executed part is monitored based on the periodic certifications that follow the execution of the project. At the end of the year, the executed part and the corresponding income appear as follows:

Minus Loss recognised (cummulative) 0 0
Minus Invoices (cummulative) -3.618 0
Contract Receivables 21.127 2.115

For the calculation of costs incurred until the end of the year, any costs related to future work related to the contract are excluded and appear as an ongoing project. The total cost incurred and the profit/loss recognized for each contract are compared with progressive invoicing until the end of the year. The costs incurred in addition to the recognized net profit (less losses) outweigh the progressive pricing. The difference is recognized as a receivable from 'Contract Receivables' in the 'Trade receivables' item in Current Assets. When progressive invoicing exceeds the costs incurred in addition to the net profit (less losses) recognized, the balance is presented as a "Contractual Liabilities" liability in the "Suppliers and Other liabilities" item.

The fair value of customer receivables approximates the book value. Receivables from customers of both the company and the Group, except for those for which a provision has been made, are all considered receivable.

The specific conditions we are experiencing clearly affect the economic environment, at least in the short term, and lead us to assess whether we have a significant increase in credit risk (SICR). The nature of the effects of the economic shock is considered temporary and, combined with the impact of government support and relief measures, leads us to conclude that these counterbalanced forces are offset.

Using past information and, more specifically, the crisis of 2015 in our country, we can say that the increase in credit risk did not significantly affect our company as credit risk management policies worked satisfactorily.

The management estimates that at this time, there is no need to change the data affecting IFRS 9 and, consequently, the increase in credit risk.

The financial assets measured by the Group and the Company at the fair value as of the balance sheet date are classified under the following levels, in accordance with the method used for determining their fair value:

Level 1: for assets traded in an active market and whose fair value is determined by the market prices (unadjusted) of similar assets.

The assumptions used are the following:

  • Mortality Scoreboard: Swiss EVK 2000 Mortality Scoreboard.
  • Age of Normal Retirement: According to the statutory provisions of the main insurance Fund of each employee.
  • Inflation: 2%
  • Annual Salary Increase: 2%
  • Discount Rate: 1.3%
  • Valuation Date: 31/12/2021
  • Population Data: The data of the Group's employees on 31/12/2021
  • Valuation Method: Projected Unit Credit. According to this method, the present value of the part of the benefit due to the previous service of the active insured (PVB) is estimated. The cost of the current service for next year should be able and necessary to cover the "jump" that the new PVB will make due to another year of service in the

calculation of the supply, i.e. the addition of another accrual to the supply we had at the end of the previous year.

4.6.26 DEFERRED INCOME TAX

According to the liability method, taxes are calculated on temporary differences using the tax rates applicable in the countries in which the Group companies operate. The calculation of the deferred taxes of the Group and the Company is re-examined in each fiscal year in order for the balance that appears in the financial statements to be in accordance with the applicable tax rates. The movement of deferred taxes after set-off is as follows:

4.6.30 UNAUDITED FISCAL YEARS BY THE TAX AUTHORITIES

Company Tax Unaudited Years
SPACE HELLAS (CYPRUS) LTD 2011 – 2021
SPACE HELLAS Doo Beograd-Stari Grad 2012 - 2021
SPACE HELLAS (MALTA) LTD 2012 - 2021

For the unaudited tax years of the Group companies, there is the possibility of imposing additional taxes and surcharges at the time of their examination and finalization by the competent tax authorities. The company has formed a cumulative provision of € 61 thousand in order to cover the possibility of imposing additional taxes in the event of an audit by the tax authorities. For the other group of companies, no provision has been made for unaudited tax years as it is estimated that the charge for the imposition of additional taxes will be insignificant.

Greek tax law and related provisions are subject to interpretation by the tax authorities and the administrative courts. Income tax returns are filed on an annual basis. Profits or losses declared for tax purposes remain temporary until the tax authorities examine the taxpayer's tax returns and books, at which time the relevant tax liabilities are settled. According to the current tax legislation (article 36, law 4174/2013), the Greek tax authorities may impose additional taxes and fines upon tax audits within the prescribed limitation period, which, in principle, is five years from the end of the next year in which the deadline for submitting the income tax return expires. Based on the above, in principle and based on the general rule, the years up to 2015 are considered, finalised

There is no statutory tax audit system for subsidiaries based abroad. Audits are carried out exceptionally where appropriate by the tax authorities of each country on the basis of specific criteria. Tax liabilities resulting from the submission of the annual tax return remain under audit

of the tax authorities for a certain period of time, in accordance with the tax laws of each country.

From the fiscal year 2011 to the fiscal year 2015, the greek corporations and the Limited Liability Companies, whose annual financial statements are compulsorily audited, were obliged to receive the "Annual Certificate" provided for in §5 of article 82 of Law 2238 / 1994 and article 65A of Ν4174 / 2014, issued following a tax audit carried out by the statutory auditor or an audit firm that audits the annual financial statements.

From the year 2016 onwards, the tax certificate is optional. Upon completion of the tax audit, the Statutory Auditor or Audit Office issues to the company a "Tax Compliance Report," and the Auditor or audit firm then submit it electronically to the Ministry of Finance, based on POL 1124/2015, as amended by the POL 1108/2017 by the tenth day of the tenth month following the end of the fiscal year.

For the Company and its Greek subsidiaries, and for the years 2011 to 2020, this audit has been completed with the issuance of the relevant Tax Compliance Reports without qualification.

There is an ongoing tax audit of the company for the year 2021 by statutory auditors, from which no significant additional charges are expected to arise.

For the year 2016, the Company, on February 9, 2022, received a notification from the Greek Tax Authorities for conducting a partial audit.

From 1 January 2014 onwards, dividends distributed within the same group by companies within the EU are exempt from both income tax and withholding tax, provided, inter alia, that the parent company participates in the company distributing the dividend at a minimum shareholding of 10% for at least two consecutive years.

The Group forms a provision when necessary, by case and by company, against possible additional taxes that the tax authorities may impose.

4.6.31 CONTINGENT EVENTS

4.6.31.1 Commitments -Guarantees

The Group has contingent liabilities in respect of banks, other guarantees and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. No substantial changes are expected to arise from contingent liabilities. No additional payments are expected after the date of preparation of these financial statements.

The contingent liabilities for letters of guarantee for the Company and the Group in the ordinary course of business are:

4.6.31.2 Excess clause provisions and Disputed claims

There are no cases (note. 4.6.29) that might have a significant impact on the financial position both of the Group and the Company.

4.6.31.3 Other contingent liabilities

The tax framework and tax practices in Greece, which determine the tax base for the transactions of Group companies, may give rise to uncertainties inherent in their complexity and the fact that they are subject to changes and alternative interpretations by the competent authorities at different times. Therefore, there may be categories of costs or handling of various issues for which a company may have to evaluate on a different basis from that applied during the preparation of the tax returns or the preparation of the financial statements. It is customary for tax inspections to be carried out by Tax Authorities, on average 5-7 years after filing the tax return. All of this leads to inherent difficulties in identifying and accounting for tax liabilities. As a result, the management aims to define its policy based on the legislation available at the time of accounting for a transaction by obtaining specialized legal and tax advice

For the unaudited tax years of the Group companies, as mentioned in note 4.6.28, there is the possibility of imposing additional taxes and surcharges at the time of their examination and finalization by the competent tax authorities. The company has formed a cumulative provision of € 61 thousand in order to cover the possibility of imposing additional taxes in the event of an audit by the tax authorities. For the other group of companies, no provision has been made for unaudited tax years as it is estimated that the charge for the imposition of additional taxes will be insignificant.

4.7 ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA / 2015 / 1415el) published the final guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (APMAs) applicable from 3 July 2016 to companies listed in organized exchange systems. ALPs are disclosed by publishers when

publishing regulated information and are intended to enhance transparency and promote the usefulness and fair and full information to the investing public.

The Alternative Performance Measurement Score (ALP) is an adjusted economic measurement of historical or future economic performance, financial position, or cash flow other than the economic measurement set out in the applicable financial reporting framework. That is to say, ALP does not rely exclusively on the standards of financial statements but provides substantial additional information, excluding elements that may differ from operating results or cash flows. Transactions with non-functional or non-cash valuations with a significant effect on the Statement of Comprehensive Income are considered factors are influencing the adjustment of the indicators to EMMA. These non-recurring items, in most cases, could arise, among others, from:

  • impairment of assets
  • Restructuring measures
  • consolidation measures
  • sale of assets or concessions
  • changes in legislation, damages for damages, or legal claims.

ALPs should always be taken into account in conjunction with the financial results prepared under IFRSs and should be considered replacing them under no circumstances. The Group uses the adjusted indicators to reflect better the financial and operating performance related to the Group's activity as such in the reference year and the corresponding comparable period last year.

The definition, analysis, and basis of calculation of the ALPs used by the Group are set out below.
